Morning Grey, Quick reply, we are leaving at 9.00. I cant speak for the others but i am not saying that nobody got a bet. Quite the opposite. Plenty of people (regulars, long standing customers and of course, lifetime losers) all got their bets on. And plenty of customers, again from the above...

One last post before i am away for a while. I listed numerous errors, f** ups etc by the BHA the other day and they were off the top of my head. I could have added loads more Just looking at todays cards, this "Premierisation" palaver is just laughable (For starters, wasnt it just two meetings...

I'm sure you asked me that last year mate :) I refer you to my previous answer. :) When i mention them all i get from others is "they ripped me off", "they restricted me to 45p". "they closed me down"etc etc etc. So i just say a big firm who used to be good but now are as bad as the rest...

"The first time I did it I forgot to lock the limits, so customers could get the full bet on. We closed every single one of them" I bet that went down well :D Our "strategy" (:unsure:) was the same every week. "Just give them £25" ! The funniest whinge i ever heard was from an old lady...

Spot on mate. And i have to say that the Hugh Taylor piece made me laugh. If your data shows that Taylor is a losing tipster if you get 10% less than the recommended price then i dread to think what percentage less many of his followers were getting. I shook my head in disbelief when it was...

One final comment Ian about the best punters you know and staying under the radar. I would wager that 99.9% of people on here would never have heard of the best punter i ever came across. He doesnt have a column in a paper or a magazine. He doesnt have a tipping service or and "advisory". He...

Just to comment on a few of your points Ian. How the hell can anyone comment on other people not understanding racing or not doing things right ???? We are all individuals and we all do our own thing. If it works for us then to hell with what anyone else says. There is no "right" or "wrong"...

And thats what got my back up. His line was, "Anyone who doesnt use sectional timing doesnt really know what he is doing".

That is a great piece mate and i just hope that some of the ignoramus's who try and ram that sort of stuff down punters throats read it. That said, they will diss it and say that they are right and the rest of us just dont know what we are doing. You know who they are, they know who they are...

Good stuff Jayhawk. The horse was indeed trained by Cynthia Woods and i am in no way being disrespectful in any way, shape or form but i can safely say that there are better trainers around. Many better trainers :) So the only way is up for the horse..........hopefully. It may turn out to be...

I agree 98% mate. I just dont get having to add the "professional" bit at the start. My younger brother is a welder but he doesnt call himself a professional welder. I had a coffee with an old mate this morning who used to be a fireman but he never referred to himself as a professional...

Good stuff.

I've never visited those tracks but i bet they are nice. I'm northern based so my pointing days were at Easingwold, Sheriff Hutton, Whitwell On The Hill, Hexham's point course, Corbridge, Mordon etc etc. Happy days. :)

Even without the Mullins/Wright saga, as you say, there is a chance it has improved between the flags and no doubt Messrs Greenall and Guerriero will improve it further. We will see. :)

That may well be a good call mate but i have checked on ATR and a couple of other sites and they all say Mullins. But then again, if they all use the same database, its like what i say about all the mickey mouse firms who copy and paste Powers prices every day. If Powers have priced one wrong...

Possibly too early to say that the combo of Ollie Greenall and Josh Guerriero but they had two winners with their only two runners at Cartmel on Monday at 33/1 and 11/2 and their only other runner over the obstacles since a short break, Alshadhian, finished second at Worcester last week. They...

Me !!!!!! (minus the gelding bit of course) :)

Your second sentence regarding compilers having to keep proving themselves reminds me of a couple of conversations i have had over the years the clowns from various firms. I think most on here will have had bets knocked back to ridiculous amounts and it will not have been because we have been...

I'll say it again mate - if only ! :) I would definitely bet with you as long as my missus and a few mates could open an account as well. :D But on a serious note, in this day and age, being allowed a bet to take out £250 is an excellent deal. But, and there is always a but, just compare it...

🙂 When i eventually got round to owning my own betting shop, the first thing i used to tell the staff on day one was always keep the biscuit tin full and never run short of coffee and tea bags. Some might say unscrupulous but it kept the punters in the shop, especially the taxi drivers with...
